This is a drawing submitted by my niece to her CL teacher during their classroom activity in which they were asked to think of a drawing that would represent their idea of government/ politics and the text goes like this “ It may be confusing why I drew this, but I saw the politics/ government as a lion. It sometimes strike whenever they saw a problem lurking around the streets. But there is also a reason why they strike. They only strike because they wanted to remove the weeds and replace them with beautiful flowers.” I like the way she chose a drawing that would represent her idea of governance and she drew it very beautifully! The lion is an iconic representation of ferocity and in government, specially the government officials, need to be firm in implementing the laws with justice. This should be done to transform chaos ( the weeds) to law and order (the beautiful flowers). The drawing is not only beautiful, but also it makes sense to me. ( from a teacher’s perspective)
